I might be able to compare to the Cons/Tigers/Nikes that I own if that helps! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900672 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:23:20 +0000 Ariadne 900672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the links, all! &nbsp;Angie, thanks for chiming in. &nbsp;I know you love your Converse, so I was wondering what you'd think. &nbsp;I'm going to see if I can find somewhere here that stocks Onitsuka Tigers so I can try them on in person before ordering.<br /><br />Sidenote: unfortunately, Adidas is now on my permanent no-fly&nbsp;list. Appropriating First Nations art and culture, especially when it's stuff from where I live, is a&nbsp;hulksmash issue for me.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.beyondbuckskin.blogspot.com/2013/01/misappropriation-and-case-of-yellow.html">http://www.beyondbuckskin.blog.....ellow.html</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900643 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:24:19 +0000 Angie 900643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Although I am a devout Converse gal,&nbsp;I vote neon pink for you!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900633 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:14:03 +0000 Scarlet 900633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ HIgh five, Glory https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900618 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:59:04 +0000 Glory 900618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can attest the ones that Scarlet has linked to. I have 2 of those - both black leather one with silver stripes, the other white with a coloured heal. They are my playground, walking, chasing kids, errands, everything shoe. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900515 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 08:03:18 +0000 Scarlet 900515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Actually the purple ones were much more vivid in real life but worked out great. They are suprisingly easy to combine into outfits and I get compliments in them. My Onitsukas are cream (the suede part),&nbsp;teal, and orange (the accent stripes). They are also pretty easy to dress.&nbsp;I actually would like to get some white Supergas now, but they are pretty low on the priority list since I have been buying new back-to-work (sob) clothes, and besides that there is no evidence here so far that warm weather will ever be arriving again.<br />These are my official playground shoes, which I copied off another MOTG I saw IRL.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.adidas.com/us/product/womens-originals-top-ten-hi-sleek-shoes/L7501?cid=G14822">http://www.adidas.com/us/produ.....cid=G14822</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900512 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:51:16 +0000 annaj 900512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have Cons and Tigers and love them both! I have a pair of Birkenstock blue footbeds that I wear in both pairs to give me a little bit of arch support. Both options are great for MOTG! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900511 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:37:50 +0000 Kiwichik 900511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love bright colours I'd go for 4 or 5 https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900488 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 06:31:12 +0000 Liz A. 900488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Why not both? In my opinion, tigers only work with pants, whereas all stars are more versatile. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900483 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 06:23:47 +0000 Ingunn 900483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love white Cons, but in the playground they would get dirty too soon. I like the blue ones you posted, and I also second Suz' idea of the silver Eccos.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900435 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:04:12 +0000 Ariadne 900435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Scarlet, what colour are your tigers, and do you have any pics? &nbsp;How have you been enjoying your purple sneakers? &nbsp;They really stuck in my mind when you posted about them, and that's why I've been thinking about these vibrant ones. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900421 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 04:48:19 +0000 Scarlet 900421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My heart goes to those pink ones. I have some beloved Onitsuka tigers and they have more support than Converse. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900356 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:53:50 +0000 Ariadne 900356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ celia, I agree! &nbsp;Both of them would work with the majority of my casual clothes, I think. &nbsp;I should really do a proper inventory, though, just to be sure. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900272 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:27:10 +0000 celia 900272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Although I like the ones Suz posted I think the pink or blue ones you posted would be very fun for your motg life. Would the color of any of these work with the rest of your casual clothes?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900242 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:00:17 +0000 Ariadne 900242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <i></i>I really like that silver pair, too. &nbsp;And Ill check out the Adidas site, Glory, thanks - I didnt know they had a .ca option. &nbsp;My toddlers a girl, BTW, but shes stronger and more active than most boys her age - I got quite a workout staying on top of her at playgroup today! &nbsp;We both broke a sweat.<br /><br />CC, the pink version of those Merrells are fun! &nbsp;They may be a little more gear than I want, but then again, I need something I can wear on trails and when camping.<br /><br />I have the same misgivings about white. &nbsp;If my budget allows, I may get those for the less dirty outings, but they probably need to go to the second tier of my priority list. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900226 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:47:53 +0000 Tanya 900226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the silver pair Suz posted! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900224 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:44:48 +0000 Glory 900224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like both but not sure about the purpose. The white cons will have a hard go of it at the playground. I also cannot wear them because they hurt my feet too much. I think I would go with something that can support you and stand up to the dirt, wet etc and still allow you to chase your wee fellow around. Have you considered any adidas - they have adidas.ca - lots of options there. I find they are tts.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900207 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:17:04 +0000 Suz 900207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, if they are essentially playground shoes, I vote for something that will not get ratty in three wears (so probably not pristine white canvas) and also something that will give you support. But keep in mind that I am absolutely unable to wear Cons without some kind of major insert. My arches hate a flat shoe.&nbsp;<br /><br />My vote would go to an Ecco sneaker. They have some really fun ones this year.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900155 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 23:22:16 +0000 Classically Casual 900155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you like colorful options, check out some of the Merrill minimalist options.<br />Here's one example of many: &nbsp;<span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sierratradingpost.com/merrell-barefoot-trail-lithe-glove-running-shoes-minimalist-for-women~p~4831h/?filterString=Merrell~b~13400%2Fshoes~d~4%2Fwomens-footwear~d~19%2F&amp;colorFamily=06">http://www.sierratradingpost.c.....st-for-wom</a>en<br /><br /></span> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900131 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 22:58:57 +0000 Nicole D 900131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I am an Urban Romantic Peacock, so I vote for the colour! &nbsp;I love the blue with pink stripes. &nbsp;But, part of my preference might be that I just plain have never found Cons very comfortable for long wear and mine always get smelly. &nbsp;The blue won't show the dirt as much&nbsp;either, and&nbsp;will&nbsp;probably give you better foot support. &nbsp;Practical and pretty! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-neon-sneakers#post-900121 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 22:46:32 +0000 Ariadne 900121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My Converse need replacing. &nbsp;I'm trying to decide between classic white Cons (dainty, high top or classic - probably not the wedge ones, as this will be hard-working playground shoes and I need plenty of stability for hoisting my incredibly active 27-lb toddler on uneven ground) and bright Onitsuka Serranos (magenta/aqua or bright blue/pink, or maaaaybe some kind of neon yellow, which is not pictured).<br /><br />These would be primarily for ultra-casual wear. &nbsp;<br /><br />Thoughts? I'm also open to alternate suggestions.<br /><br />
